Imagine a President tearing up a $2.4B contract just so he could hand the money to his top political financial supporter. Cronyism and politics at its worst. It’s what's happening now at the FAA. Trump wants to hand $2.4 BILLION in taxpayer dollars straight to Elon Musk. I'm fighting to stop it.
A SpaceX Starship broke apart after launch, raining debris down off Florida's coast and over the Caribbean SECOND BREAKUP IN 2 MONTHS.COULD MUSK NOT BE THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE?
Musk & the DOGE crew keep proving they’re not as smart as they think. Now they’re trying to close federal buildings like the Odell Horton building in Memphis—which I had named for the famed African American jurist—with no plan for critical services like federal courts. We're going to fight it. ⬇️
I have since learned that representative Lance Gooden of Texas reached across the aisle and grabbed the sign out of representative Sainsbury’s hands and tossed it away from her. She chose not to have him cited or brought up for censure.
House Judiciary Republicans spent today trying to gaslight America. It's "Critical Legal Theory"—their attempt to push bills to whitewash Trump's felony convictions. Trump was found guilty 34 times. No amount of lying, no new law, no GOP spin can change it. He's a convicted felon. Guilty, 34 times.
Jim Jordan wants you to believe that Trump is a victim. He knows that's a lie. The Mueller Report showed Russian interference. A bipartisan Senate report confirmed it. People went to prison. And Trump wasn't indicted because Bill Barr wasn't man enough to do it. That's the truth. ⬇️

Last night, Donald Trump stood in the Capitol, protected by the same Capitol Police officers he encouraged a violent mob to attack—then pardoned the insurrectionists who assaulted and killed them. The hypocrisy was sickening. Almost as sickening as Donald Trump.

The man is morally emotionally and intellectually, incapable of leading the United States of America. I can’t stomach what he’s doing to destroy our country and embarrass us on the world stage. He is even worse than he was in 2017. And he’ll keep getting worse.The guardrails are off.

President Trump just directly contradicted the Government's court filing in one of the most important cases before the courts. President Trump: "DOGE ... which is headed by Elon Musk who is in the gallery tonight." A boost for the plaintiffs in the Appointments Clause cases.
Republicans go nuts for Elon Musk while Elizabeth Warren scrolls on her phone
